chapter fifteen - you knew?

~~~

san, wooyoung, eunmi and mrs. choi were all silently eating dinner at the dinner table.

suddenly, mrs. choi spoke up.

"so... wooyoung? how are you?"

"uh, i-i'm okay. how about you guys?" wooyoung questioned.

"work has been stressing me out a bit, and also as a single mother, i need to work extra hard. but i'm alright!" mrs. choi beamed. "eunmi..?"

"i love school! all my friends are super nice and my teachers are so kind!" eunmi grinned.

"that's great eunmi! what about you san?" mrs. choi turned to him.

"i'm settling in okay. wooyoung sits next to me and he really helps a lot." san slightly smiled. "i've made many friends through him and he's the one i'm closest with!"

wooyoung couldn't stop his face from heating up as he listened to san's compliments.

"u-um, thanks san." he managed to mutter.

"i should be thanking you, youngie!" san exclaimed.

all of a sudden, wooyoung didn't feel like eating.

calm down wooyoung, you're having butterflies in your stomach...

"mrs. choi? is it okay that i'm full?" wooyoung asked.

"of course! don't worry about it wooyoung." mrs. choi stood up and politely took wooyoung's leftovers, threw them away, then put his plate in the sink.

"thank you for having me, mrs. choi." wooyoung smiled.

"no problem wooyoung. if you ever need to, you can come over whenever you'd like."

wooyoung thought about mrs. choi's suggestion. school holidays were coming up soon, and he wouldn't be doing anything interesting at home...

"okay, if you don't mind." wooyoung nervously giggled a little.

"i don't mind wooyoung, i was the one who brought it up!" mrs. choi chuckled. "now you better get home, it's getting dark."

"oh yeah. my parents might be wondering where i am."

"tell them i said hi!"

"sure. see you tomorrow san." wooyoung waved.

"see ya woo!"

"bye eunmi."

"goodbye wooyoungie-oppa! have a safe trip home!"

"i'll try. thanks again for having me." wooyoung almost bowed, but remembered that mrs. choi told him he didn't have to be so formal.

"it was our pleasure. can't wait to see you again!" mrs. choi opened the door for wooyoung.

"bye."

"bye-bye!"

wooyoung smiled as he lied on his bed.
